'The Gardner. White limiting party re-
turned from Little Salmon this week
with IL deer, and they sign themselves
Nimrod now. No news from the Roche
pierre-Parker party, but we don't doubt
that they will bring all the rest of the
deer when they come.
The return of the Camas prairie peo-
pie who visited Lewiston to take in the |
races was delayed by bad weather.
They are all back now and report some
interesting sport and the finest lot of

opled by all the leading coast papers t.
nd not a few in the eastern states. 1t I
t will undoubtedly result in attracting 4
much attention to our county and terri

ever neglects an opportunity to put in h
good word for Camas prairie when he o
as the chance. G
STimes are dreadfully hard all over .
Washington territory, and the loan COM

heir hands in regular landslides. 1t is
My question of time when the land
